Started in October 1993 by Linda & Robin Cook,
LINCRAFTS supply collectable teddy bears & realistic soft toys
at various fairs throughout the U.K. and by mail order worldwide.

We stock an extensive selection from : Bearingtons Bears & Bearington Baby. The Ganz Cottage & Boyds Bears ,

Complementing the bears is a vast range of realistic wild & domestic animals & birds both large and small
rivalling that of mother nature herself each piece being a "Work of art in plush" made by:
Hansa Toy International & Dowman Soft Touch .
For 2006 we decided to combine our love of cats & dogs into a new business venture
"The Cats Whiskers Gifts"(CWG Pet Supplies).
This sister site offers cat, dog & small animal toys, litters & foods from leading manufacturers
& is growing in both popularity & diversity .
Also in 2006 we successfully negotiated with Boyds(U.S.) to be able to import their range of Bears & Accessories ,
thus allowing us to continue supplying collectors here in the UK after the closing of Boyds(UK)in 2005.
Sadly after the 2008 range we were no longer in a position to supply due to Boyds not being available for export to the UK.
Still we hope that sometime in the not too distant future these lovable bears will once again be supplied by ourselves to collectors eager to buy them.
For 2008/9 we also started to sell a few baby items,which after a few months snowballed into quite a large selection,mainly from the Bearington Baby Range,but also complimented by a few Dowman Soft Touch items as well.
Sadly it was decided after much deliberation that for 2010 we would no longer continue with the Toy Fairs as we could not devote the time & effort required to do these demanding shows. The businesses are expanding fast & the overheads for doing a fair have far outweighed the rewards.
We will obviously miss a lot of fellow traders & customers, but as the man said "Business is Business".
On a more positive note we decided to extend our range of soft toys & we now carry the Ark Soft Toy collection of realistic & some comical characters

Now in our Sixteenth Year LINCRAFTS hope that we offer
an efficient but personal service, that is
" Constantly moving forward,
Never standing still. "
